Health Problems: My Indiegogo Campaign

Well, I'm an uninsured musician who's been diagnosed with some nasty business. I can't pay for the treatment, so I created an indiegogo campaign. If you have the time, please read my story. Thank you.

Sad news, man. Good luck!

Can I do this without giving indiegogo my info?

you can get something like that from an air conditioner?

 
I had my units serviced and cleaned last spring. I was concerned that I might have one of the newer "efficient" units with the coils made from recycled aluminum. Thankfuly, the serciceman said they are copper. Aluminum is OK but recycled aluminum, used in an "energy efficient" configuration is BAD. The "efficient" coils are coiled much closer together, harder to get to and clean but really none of that is really what matters. The problem is that recyced aluminum is slightly porous, little holes so small that you cannot see them and if they get the mold on them, the one that causes "dirty cock syndrome"... you can clean the coil all you want but it will always come back because 1: you can't get to it to clean it right and 2: even if you could clean it, you can never get all the mold out of the microscopic holes... the only way to fix it is to replace the coil. I had a little bit of it but they were able to clean it away. You notice it the first couple of times you turn the heater on in the fall... it smells like dirty socks and isn't good for you. Some fungi are good for your head... some are not.

Best wishes to you.  

Your link didn't work, what have you come down with? 

The link still works, although you have to copy and paste it. He has nasal polyposis. 

sharke--> Thank you. Some people are affected heavily by mold because they are allergic to it, and others seem to be immune. Studies show that nasal polyps are linked to asthma and cystic fibrosis, so there is some underlying genetic predisposition to the condition. If you've been exposed to mold, then you should definitely get checked out by a physician. I moved out of the house that had the mold and into an apartment with central air. The unit here is brand new and totally clean. You can bet that I'll be keeping an eye on it regularly. That's amazing that the doctor did that for you. The rate I've posted for the surgery is the discounted rate. If I can qualify for the government's PCIP insurance, then the cost of my care will drop.

Rain-->Thank you.

Beagle-->Thank you. It is much appreciated. I'm planning on getting healed. /thumbs up

jbow-->Thank you. Thanks to people like you, I am getting what I need.

Linear Phase-->Thank you. I'm waiting to hear back from the local health and human services office about medicaid.

Old55-->Thank you.

Crg-->You have to copy/paste the link. I tried to get it to work here on the forum, but it didn't. I'll put a note on it.

Beepster-->Thank you. Actually, because of how bad my condition is, it's a major surgery. Triple or more time needed than the average, hence the cost. The CT scan showed 100% blockage from top to bottom, and it looks like a sea urchin is trying to work its way out of my sinuses and down the back of my throat. I'm filling out every form and contacting every agency I can find. The solution is already there, I just have to find it.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, encouragement, and donations. If you have the time, please share the link to my indiegogo campaign on your facebook or twitter. The more traffic and referrals generated, the closer I get to being on the front page, and the closer I get to having my surgery.

You could make a documentary called 2012:A Mold Odyssey.

"Open the sliding glass doors, HAL."

I wanted to say thank you to everyone that's contacted me and contributed so far. I'm at the half-way point for the down payment that will get me the surgery I need. Thank you. Sincerely. 

If you would like to help, please post the link to my campaign on your social media such as facebook or twitter. The referral traffic keeps me at a higher ranking, which means more people see my page. The more visits, the more donations I get. I went from page 54 to page 6 in just three days. 

Thank you. 

I couldn't have done it without all of you. Thank you so much.

12 days to go, so /fingers crossed.

Cool... I just checked. The down payment money is in!!! Someone doubled the amount aboutan hour ago.
 
Awesome!

If it comes to it... talk to the doctor and the anesthesiologist. They may be willing to charge less if you ask them and show them what you and others have done. Everything is negotiable.

Panup - it worked for me. Using Safari, though.

I was able to get a 25% discount off the top, and a 25% discount from the doctor. The totals I've posted are after the discount.


So far, it's going extremely well. 


Thank you to everyone for your help.
